During Blizzcon 2017 Opening Ceremony right after the announcement of the Warcraft Classic servers and right before the announcement for Battle for Azeroth, it was revealed just how much the community can band together in order to raise money for a good cause with the release of Shadow, the light and void-shifting fox pet that was released early for the Disaster Relief Fund. It was also announced that he will be coming to life in plush form for pet and plush lovers alike to take home.

SDCC 2017 takes place this week, and if you can't make it in person, Blizzard is releasing new merchandise for everyone! Instead of looking for collectibles on eBay or waiting in line, now you can buy special merchandise at home including Ice Cream Citadel shirts.

Blizzard has revealed new convention merchandise via a Facebook stream today! While many items focus on the Overwatch universe, there are some interesting WoW products like the gigantic cute Arthas statue.

To avoid disappointment among fans, Blizzard has stopped creating SDCC-only merchandise. Instead, certain rare collectibles will debut at SDCC 2017 but will later be available at other conventions or retailers!

The Blizzard Gear Shop has a new range of merchandise available in the Epic Apparel Loot Drop. This merchandise covers a range of styles, whether you want to show your love for the Horde at a convention, wear something casual for the weekend, or dress up with a subtle nod to your favorite Blizzard game.

As the snow falls outside of Ironforge and Orgrimmar, the Wowhead team is taking a moment to reflect how great 2016 has been to us. From Legion's launch to attending the black-carpet premiere of the Warcraft movie, the Wowhead staff has enjoyed providing you with the best possible information!

The contest begins on December 20th, 2016 and ends on January 4th, 2017 at 11:59PM PDT. Participants will have ten possible chances to enter the drawing.

We also have special holiday discounts for all Wowhead users! Now through December 31st, get 15% off all apparel and accessories at the Blizzard Gear Shop with code WOWHEADDEC and free economy shipping on all J!NX products with code WOWHEAD.

For weekend news, we have the latest Wowhead Weekly, the Volunteer Guard Day to preview on the PTR, and some Blizzard Holiday deals. Edit: members of Serenity have also achieved the World First Mythic+ 20 clear!
